Abstract: The present study evaluated the effects of the inclusion of three seaweeds, Gracilaria vermiculophylla (GRA), Porphyra dioica (POR), and Ulva spp. (ULV), as dietary ingredients for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juveniles, on the growth performance, body composition, and gut histology. Three experimental diets (GRA, POR, and ULV) were formulated to replace 10 % of whole diet by each of the three seaweeds. A control diet (CTRL) was used, without inclusion of any seaweed. Diets were fed to triplicate groups of 25 Nile tilapia juveniles, wit... (read more)
